Kat and the Kings Arrive in West End Date: 10 February 1998
Cape Town musical sensation Kat and the Kings is coming to the West End from 23 March at the Vaudeville Theatre. The production is the first South African musical to open in London since the advent of majority rule. Based on the real life memories of the show's star, Sallie Daniels, Kat and the Kings gives a rare glimpse of the 'Cape Coloured', or mixed race, community of Cape Town. It highlights not only the jazz musical movement of the 1950s but also the iniquities of being a 'non-white' entertainer under the apartheid regime. The show premiered in London last year at fringe venue the Tricycle Theatre. It returns to the Tricycle for a limited run from 19 February to 14 March before transferring to the Vaudeville.
